If you asked me to come up with an oddball profession, never in a thousand years would I think of “criminal forensic ornithologist.” I can’t imagine much demand for consultants to answer “did the cat eat my canary?”

I read the article. He appears to be well seasoned.

With all the birds shredded by wind power facilities each day I bet he is very busy.

I could have used him a couple of days times when I found a feather explosion on my yard. Was it a hawk or cat that ate the victim?

“.......oddball profession, never in a thousand years would I think of “criminal forensic ornithologist.”.........

Guess you haven't reviewed any of the millions of weired college degree's dolled out and the “nutty professors” who teach those recipients. One thing for certain, if someone needs some odd ball expert, those specialized degrees demand high compensations.

Interesting photo.
Dorothy Kilgallen, first from left, a columnist for the Journal-American, died under suspicious circumstances in 1965 after posting several articles on the Kennedy Assassination.

I didn’t know that about Kilgallen. Early Arkancide? Massacide?

Recent thread:

There is a new book out about her mysterious death. IIRC, her body was found in a bed she never used, holding a book she had finished reading weeks before. From the beginning people said it was fishy, but it all got hushed up.

But that *Hal Block* looks like a Jack Parr to me.:)

No Python yet? Come on people!
